Why does such attacks keep happening to you? Trump — The people who make the biggest impacts, like Abraham Lincoln, are the one they go after. I hate to say it but I’m honoured to be one.
Other powerful people who have been targeted are more like Trump than Lincoln. Hitler's own people went after Hitler, Romania executed dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu...many, many times in history people have gone after fascists and dictators. That's the more appropriate comparison.
Here he is giving himself away again. Reading between the lines, he is saying that he knows that assassination attempts have boosted the popularity of past presidents that had experienced them... I'm sure he also knows how G.Dubya was very unpopular until his " you're either with us or against us" BS "wmd" Iraq war got him a second term.
because he fantasizes about having a bullet in his head is my guess... I mean that is the only thing that he would have in common with Lincoln if an assassin actually succeeded.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, not merely attempted... When he has a bullet in his head, then he can compare himself to Lincoln.
And he is right that assassins only go after those with big impact, but "big impact" is a completely neutral statement. You CAN have a big impact and that impact be extremely bad. Just saying
Every single thing he says, every time, is whatever most bolsters his own ego. Without fail. So he is absolutely incapable of that sort of self reflection. He would literally never admit it to himself let alone anyone else.
Didn't he get told that Hitler's generals tried to have him killed several times in response to Dump wishing he had generals like Hitler did in his first term, and Dump proceeded to screech that NO, THE GERMAN ARMY WAS 1000% LOYAL AND BLINDLY OBEDIENT AND BARKED EVERY TIME DER FUHRER SAID SO

Other than that, Mrs Trump, how was the farce?

One fake assassination attempt was suspicious, two is borderline cheesy.

Reporter was absolutely given that question by the white house.

Well he is correct in the fact that he "does the most" ..the most damaging, nefarious shit
SleepyHollowAppleTree
Why is he comparing himself to Lincoln, honest Abe never raped children.

Abe barely liked women. He preferred wrestling and living in a one bedroom cabin with his "best friend" for many years. https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1YjI5cjduZG5lZzFzMXc0aWY4aHF2cW8zcm5tNWtlYTdpaTA4djJhaSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/xkG67UPTlATOCtAfd6/200w.webp

DocFunkenstein
It keeps happening because his people keep orchestrating, you moronic twat.
He's utterly convinced that it'll win people's hearts and get him everything his pathetic, narcissistic, loser ass needs.
He is, indded, a pathetic and moronic loser, and so are you.

If trump was assassinated the only thing he would have in common would be that they’d both be dead.
TheMoonBnuuy
pretty much

We must never forget Lincoln's last words, as he lay dying: "What is a unified nation without a Big, Beautiful Ballroom?"

I couldn't not read that in his voice, fuck you for making me hear his voice in my head
thatiscomedygoldrightthere
Sorry about that.

You think after enough attempts he’d figure something out, but nooooo……

...he's very bad at picking people to get the job done...

He’s correct though, pretty sure Hitler got a few assassination attempts…

Or am I remembering wrong?

He can regrow his ear, so he figures there's no reason to be afraid of "assassination" attempts.

But his hand is perpetually bruised. Go figure.
